Is Due South the greatest show in TV history?

[Lord Camomile]

Ah, was it the height that did it? I just thought it was super cold water. I mean, it is Canada.

I don't know. As far as I can remember Dief jumped in to save Fraser's life. He may not have jumped in, I'm just assuming that, and if he did, who's to say it wasn't from a height?

I think I need to google to see if I can find out

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

hm, Dief saved Fraser by

dragging him out of the frigid waters of Prince Rupert Sound.

Maybe Prince Rupert Sound is very deep and his eardrums popped with the pressure and never recovered?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

What kind of wolf can't cope with a little cold water

Seems you might be right after all

Based on two sentences, spoken by Fraser in the pilot of "due South: "He can't hear you --- he's deaf. He pulled me out of Prince Rupert Sound once, and his eardrums burst from the cold."

I used to enjoy it. Really sweet series, with a subversive sense of humour at times.

Oh, and Fraser = Captain Carrot.

I have the whole series on video

I'm just watching it now. I used to like it but it's a load of old toss really.

Doesn't matter. Sod the storylines. I still like Fraser (although I don't fancy him as much as I used to - maybe I've got old)

Anyway, this is the pilot episode so there's not as much humour as in subsequent episodes

Never doubted myself

Oh, and Fraser = Captain Carrot.

An ex of mine used to have a thing for both of 'em. I never stood a chance

 

[Lord Camomile]

Didn't stop me using Due South to get her in my bedroom though...

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I have no idea who Captain Carrot is

 

[Lord Camomile]

Discworld character.

From wiki.

oh, never heard of Discworld either

I... really?!

Woah.

Should I be ashamed, embarrassed or thankful?

 

[krtek a houby]

Should I be ashamed, embarrassed or thankful?

thankful; completely unfunny. Terry Pratchett did write a good yarn with Neil Gaiman, mind.

 

[Lord Camomile]

You couldn't be more wrong if you said that Diefenbaker lost his hearing by jumping from a great height.

You're right about Good Omens though.

Admittedly, I have read only one other Pratchett; it was a discworld novel but not part of the discworld series, if that makes any sense

I've gone right off you now.

 

[krtek a houby]

I've gone right off you now.

Huh. Like you had a chance.

 

[madzone]

Huh. Like you had a chance.

Oh, I'm never bothered with tiny details like whether men are actually into me or even like me a little bit. I just make them fuck me anyway. You had a lucky escape.

I don't know how you can like Good Omens but not like Pratchett on his own though.

Odd, my saucy reply wouldn't go through. Anyway, I'm open to persuasion. About Prachett, that is. And I probably would have allowed you nail me, back in the day. You exude a certain something that's highly attractive to me.

Ectoplasm.

My gran fancied him & thought he was a real Mountie who also acted
we used to watch it each week during the the original bbc broadcasts,
liked it at the time but gave up on it on the repeats, there were points where the plots went too silly, and at least one episode that was a load of emotional pornography.

I liked the second Ray.

My Mum phoned me up the other day to tell me it was on itvthing, then phoned me back to tell me it was a load of old rubbish.

 

[sim667]

You are joking aren't you?

He lipreads. Well ok, Fraser's not convinced he lipreads but he nevertheless speaks to Dief so Dief can see his lips moving

It was explained how he lost his hearing in the pilot episode

I was only about 9 when it was on originally.......

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Thanks for reminding me how old I am

The 2nd Ray didn't work for me I'm afraid

First post makes it sound good but it was in fact boring as hell. Though thinking about it I'm pretty sure I could write up ugly betty, glee, hermans head and desperate housewives to sound just as quirky.

I have seen glee(once) and seen enough of ugly betty and dh to know they're not for me but Due South was very watchable, slightly less so when the real Ray went away but still watchable and enjoyable.
